Target Recalled Purple Reign Costume .

I was told they couldn't sell it for some reason. Any idea why? Girl at the store called Prince a DRAMA QUEEN. Also,my Paisley Park song on ATWIAD says TAISLEY not PAISLEY does anyone have this Problem? I had to return it twice.

They told me they were going to throw it out since it is recalled. I said CRAP! They had another one in SPENCER'S with a wig for 49.99. I thought it would have been cool just to keep. I don't know why the problem. I was upset.

All those products seem to be pulled for safety reasons. Either way the costume is not on Target's website anymore.

i don't know if target pulled the joint because of a lawsuit or whatever. might've been simply because it wasn't selling well. who knows?

Thanks Funk. I told them they were Crap saying they were throwing it away. The guy on the cover was UGLY. The one in Spencer's is 49.99 and comes with a wig. For some reason PIMP Hats and Witch stuff sells and that is BORING already. What get's me is those Wonka Cupcakes didn't last either. I remember when we were in school doing Market Research on wine coolers. I had to ask questions about CALVIN COOLERS. It's sad when things just are Relegated to OLD or Something like things get tossed for something newer this is CRAP! If something is new and Improved Cool,but I like Retro things better. Remember Laverne and Shirley with PEPSI and MILK? It's pretty cool Today Sponges are back after so many years of being away. But Silicon Boobs??? I am Not Sure that this is good. There was a Tampon named Relay that was amazing. It was taken off the market for Toxic Shock. There was a Condom that Grabbed on you and it was like some rubber band or something it didn't come off or slip. It is long gone and about 2 years ago in NYC they had BLACK Pantiliners. These are gone also. In fact only NY had these. I still have a few for collector items. I dig collectiables like mad. Between Art Deco and Vintage and Collectiables forget it. They have those BLYTHE DOLLS with the different colored eyes. Alot of stuff is from Japan. There are Japanese Toy stores. I could go on and on about stuff in general. I am a Computer Brain. Does anybody like AKIRA and the Japanese Animation?

It probably got pulled from being featured on this site.

Prince's "people" certainly monitor the online community for unathorized merchandise.

It was clearly a copyright infringement since it was referred to as "Purple Reign." However, if they just called it "Funk Man" or something it'd probably still be available.

If he had it pulled he was probably unhappy about being associated with Halloween.

They recalled it because it was butt ugly.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

But what I want to know is WHY? TRUE reason is not FLAMEABLE. Because I bought ANOTHER similar outfit. It is Cheesy and all but still a GAG item. No, I wouldn't want a guy to wear this for Halloween.
